Mr PC needs to learn Chadd’s rules! We take at least half the time again to watch a film with all the pausing and the drinks fetching and the rewinding to catch the dialogue he missed. Sadly, it makes a bad movie even worse. Even good ones end up being a chore – it took us three evenings to watch The Deer Hunter.

I quite like the pausing … we watch convoluted films where long pauses for speculation as to who did it or whatever are as much fun as the movie itself. We also have long pauses because a whippet discovers it needs to be let out … maybe I should ask Chadd to have a word with them!
